Vietnam advances carbon market technology and global brand expansion

Vietnam is advancing its carbon market development by integrating technologies such as remote sensing, big data, and artificial intelligence. These tools are essential for ensuring transparency, reliability, and the quality of carbon credits. Officials emphasize the need to establish measurement, reporting, and verification systems that align with international standards to accurately monitor forest carbon absorption and emission reductions.

Simultaneously, Vietnamese enterprises are increasingly expanding their global footprint across sectors including telecommunications, technology, automotive, and consumer goods. The Better Choice Awards 2026 has introduced a category to honor brands that achieve substantive international presence through revenue, branches, or market share. For instance, Viettel reported that its international revenue reached $3.34 billion in 2025, marking nine consecutive years of double-digit growth in foreign markets.
